**BREAKING: BEAR CAUGHT ON CAMERA PULLING OFF DAIRY HEIST OF THE CENTURY**
In a shocking turn of events, a brazen bear was caught on camera breaking into a quiet California home in the middle of the night, and making off with a prize so valuable, it’s left experts scratching their heads.
The thief in question, a massive grizzly bear identified as “Bert” by local wildlife experts, was seen strolling up to the front door of a residential home in suburban Los Angeles, and with a few swift swipes of his massive paw, the door swung open and Bert was inside.
But in a stunning display of restraint, Bert didn’t smash and grab, like one might expect from a marauding bear. No, this cunning creature had his heart set on one thing and one thing only: a package of Oreo cookies.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as “almost comical”, with Bert delicately plucking the package from the kitchen counter and carefully unwrapping it before making his escape.
“I was watching from my neighbor’s house, and I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said local resident, Jane Doe. “The bear was so focused on those Oreos, it was like he was in a trance. I mean, I’ve seen bears do some weird things, but this was on a whole other level.”
When questioned about the incident, local authorities seemed equally perplexed.
“We’re still trying to figure out what motivated Bert to go after Oreos of all things,” said Sheriff John Smith. “I mean, we’ve had bears raid trash cans and gardens before, but this is the first time we’ve seen one steal cookies. We’re starting to think Bert might be a cookie connoisseur or something.”
As for Bert, he’s still on the loose, and authorities are urging residents to keep a close eye on their snack supplies.
In the meantime, Oreo enthusiasts are rejoicing at the news, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for Bert’s refined taste.
“Who needs fancy cheese or expensive chocolates when you’ve got Oreos?” tweeted @OreoLover22. “Bert gets it, folks. #OreosForLife”
The incident has left many wondering: what’s next for Bert and his cookie obsession? Only time (and perhaps a few more security cameras) will tell.
